Paul Alexander, Chief Executive of the Snowdon Trust says;“Whilst our disabled students grants programme has been going since 1981 we have only recently been in a position to offer full scholarships. We launched a limited scholarship programme in 2017 which has proven a success and now, with the support of the GDI Hub, we are delighted to be rolling out nationally. We know we can find, support and help develop some truly outstanding talent!

Students across the world are encouraged to apply for this exciting new opportunity.

We are delighted to be working alongside the Snowdon Trust on such an important programme to support high achieving disabled students become the innovators of tomorrow’
